Isn't it amazing how some songs have the power to move your soul? Let me share a song with you:

Now, I want you to just listen to this song. Don't watch the video, but just have it playing in the background. I just heard this song at random on my Pandora station and found it incredibly moving
I work in theatre for a living, and always am amazed when a show has just the perfect music to go with the production. In fact, there are two songs in particular that I hear that just make tears come to the surface because I have connected them with a play in one way or another.
The first is "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations. A while back I got to work on the premier of Brokeology, a wonderful play about a family and their struggles with change. The song reminds me of the main character's loss of his wife, and how he and his family move forward. But it isn't that knowledge that moves me emotionally, it is a deep emotional connection I have made with the music.

But this song is nothing compared to how quickly I am brought to tears by this song:

Its so simple. One cello. But at a very difficult time in my life, this song, and the play that this song was used in, helped me move forward. The play is called W;t, and it is about a woman and her struggles with cancer. At the time I worked on this production, my mom was passing after many years of battling cancer herself. I have such a strong emotional tie that even thinking about the music make me weep. But the song isn't sad to me, it is hopeful. It reminds me there is more to life than just being alive, and that we are not just measured by what we do, but who we impact. And I know this is true because my mom still impacts me today, almost 8 years after her passing.

So do you have any music that moves you? I would love to hear the song and your story behind it.
